The Winnipeg Jets will have their hot form tested when the Anaheim Ducks visit the Canada Life Centre on Friday night. Anaheim won all three head-to-head meetings last season and looks like a strong bet to continue that streak.
Winnipeg is off to an impressive start to the season, going 3-0-1. They even snuck past the Colorado Avalanche in their last game, with Kyle Connor netting two goals in a 3-2 victory. However, the team has overperformed so far.
With Connor Hellebuyck out of the picture following his trade request, the Jets have started the season without one of their best players. The other goaltenders have done well, but Hellebuyck is on another level. It’s certain that Stuart Skinner and Clay Stevenson will stumble at some point.
Facing the Ducks poses a major challenge for Winnipeg’s defense. They have averaged 3.00 goals per game, led by Leo Carlsson and Cutter Gauthier, who have already combined for 11 points. Carlsson boasts five power-play assists, and his elite playmaking will cause Winnipeg plenty of trouble.
Anaheim's prospects could improve further on Friday if Josh Morrissey is out. Winnipeg's No. 1 defenseman was injured against Colorado, and it’s unclear whether he will have enough time to recover before Friday’s game.

Our Winnipeg Jets vs Anaheim Ducks Prediction
Winnipeg deserves plaudits for its impressive early-season form, but things could have gone very differently. All of their three victories have come by one goal. They have been behind in two of the games.
While the Ducks lost their perfect record on Wednesday against Edmonton, it happened in strange circumstances. Joel Quenneville watched his team give up five second-period goals after taking a 2-0 lead into the first intermission. He will want to see a big reaction from his men here.
